Storage Grid

Hi, experts,

We have two questions about object storage. Customer wants a flexible replication policy , eg. doesn't want replicate object synchronous to another Grid , but want to replicate at setting time ( eg. at night idle time), Does CGR has such flexibility ? Or how can achieve this purpose ?

2nd question is if customer wants to migrate data from Ceph based object storage to SG , which tool is a better choice ?

s3 object ILM is defined on ingest behavior. so, I doubt the ILM can be scheduled.

external sync job can be scheduled.

Mani

Regarding your second question, I would advocate having an "application-based" migration from one platform to the other, provided the application is able to "connect" to two S3 buckets. It would be the application responsability to "copy objects" from one bucket to the other and making sure to keep the logical (or application-level) integrity while doing so.
